This is because the two books are written in completely different literary genres.
The Bible is a collection of many books telling one unified
story, and these books are written in different styles. It’s a little like
walking into a bookstore and seeing different categories of books such as
history, biography, poetry, and non-fiction. When you peruse these different
types of books, you will have different expectations as you read them.
The following genres are represented Scripture:
Narrative (comprises 43 percent of the Bible)
Poetry (comprises 33 percent of the Bible)
Discourse (comprises 24 percent of the Bible)
In the following video, the Bible Project explains why
these particular genres are important and why God chose them to communicate the
greatest story ever. Enjoy, study, and be changed.
